Course Details
• Stream Geomorphology: Understanding the physical features and processes of stream systems is crucial for resilient design. This unit covers topics like channel types, bank erosion, and floodplains.
• Hydrology and Hydraulics: This unit covers the study of water flow and behavior in streams, including peak flows, low flows, and water surface profiles. Understanding these concepts is essential for designing resilient streams.
• Stream Restoration Techniques: Learn about various restoration techniques, such as bioengineering, streambank stabilization, and habitat enhancement. This unit covers the principles and best practices for restoring degraded streams.
• Resilient Design Principles: This unit explores the key principles of resilient stream design, including natural channel design, stream stability, and sediment transport. Students will learn how to apply these principles to real-world projects.
• Climate Change and Stream Resilience: This unit covers the impacts of climate change on stream systems and how to design resilient streams that can adapt to changing conditions. Topics include increased frequency and intensity of storms, rising temperatures, and changing precipitation patterns.
• Monitoring and Evaluation: This unit covers the importance of monitoring and evaluation in ensuring the success of resilient stream design projects. Students will learn about different monitoring techniques and how to evaluate the effectiveness of stream restoration efforts.
• Regulatory Framework: This unit covers the legal and regulatory framework for stream restoration and resilient design, including federal and state regulations, permitting requirements, and best management practices.
• Stakeholder Engagement: This unit covers the importance of engaging stakeholders in resilient stream design projects. Students will learn about different stakeholder groups, communication strategies, and conflict resolution techniques.
• Design Tools and Software: This unit covers the various tools and software used in resilient stream design, including hydrologic and hydraulic modeling software, geographic information systems (GIS), and computer-aided design (CAD) programs.
